Jameh Mosque was actually my favorite piece of architecture in Esfahan because of its unique muqarnas. Originally a Zoroastrian Fire Temple dating back to the Sassanid era, it was converted into a mosque during the Umayyad Dynasty, however, it wasn’t much until the 11th century. Jameh Mosque suffered a fire in the 12th century, with the north and s...
Hakim Mosque is located right off of Bazar e Bozrog and hardly sees any visitors in comparison to the mosques in Naqsh e Jahan Square, or the Jameh Mosque. Built in the 17th century, Hakim Mosque is one of Esfahan’s oldest mosques, named after Doctor Mohammad Davud Khan Hakim who funded the construction of the mosque. Hakim Mosque is a great place ...

Previously I visited the Ateshkadah and Towers of Silence in Yazd and had Esfahan’s Ateshkadah on my list. On my first evening in Esfahan I ended up meeting a group of locals all around my age who talked me into jumping on motorbikes with them and heading across the river to climb up the Ateshkadah at night. Entrance:300,000 IRR for foreigners
Truth be told, I had intentions to visit Vank Cathedral and Jolfa Square in Esfahan’s Armenian district, but I ended up running out of time and didn’t make it. I have since looked up photos and it definitely, in my opinion, is worth visiting. I actually was planning to visit when I paid a visit to the Ateshkadah, as they are quite close, but I ende...
Similar to the Vakil Hammam in Shiraz, Hammam e Ali Gholi Khan Agha features mannequins to help those that aren’t familiar with hammams understand the purpose of each part of the structure. Entrance:200,000 IRR for foreigners
Chahar Bagh Madrasa is an Islamic school that was built between 1704 and 1714, part of a larger complex including Bazar e Honar, and a caravanserai that is now the Abbasi Hotel. I was in Esfahan just after Nowruz and was able to enter, but I had heard that it’s not normally open to the public. Heading to Tabriz on your trip? Don’t miss Kandovanon y...
